...another week of disappointment for marital deathwatchers anticipating the Roman springing of Mrs. Fisher, Liz's on-screen Caesar, Rex Harrison, 54, produced cheerier connubial copy. Two and a half years after the death of Third Wife Kay Kendall, he was wed at Genoa's city hall to Welsh Actress Rachel (Satur day Night and Sunday Morning) Roberts, 34, the Baptist minister's daughter who lately has been Rexy's favored traveling companion...

Recently, the government stopped the press run, after 7,000 copies had been printed, of a scathing novel, The Divine Caesar, by Jacek Bochenski, which bitterly attacked the Communist order under the guise of exposing ancient Roman tyranny. Muses the novelist's dictator: "Let's face it. Gaul has not been subjugated. The people want political reform. All the people want freedom and hate slavery." In case anybody missed...
